Am I the only one seeing this? Thanks for reporting this, but I've been unable to reproduce the problem. Moreover, getty(8) is neither responsible for updating utmp(5) nor used on pseudo terminals, so my recent changes to getty(8) could hardly introduce the problem you were observing. A possible reason for it might be that your utmp(5) file got broken in some way. -- Yar
